MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

cricketbat Clueless is an iconic film of the 90s. This adaptation of Emma does a good job of bringing Jane Austen's ideas into the modern world. This movie is very well cast and each of the characters hold their own. It's is highly quotable and highly entertaining.

Matt Greene Ready for a shock? Pinnacle teen-comedy Clueless is over 20 years old. Before Silverstone was a retired-actress-turned-naturist; before Dash was just another Fox News pundit; and when Rudd was young, funny and good-looking...as opposed to now, when he's middle-aged, funny and good-looking. They were part of a cultural phenom that was so thoroughly 90s we wondered if its greatness could hold over time. Well, either my nostalgia is strengthening, or the film is actually getting better with age. Clueless is as funny as ever, lovingly laughing at its characters with a timeless sense of teenage naivete. The story of posh high-schooler Cher (a never-better Silverstone) and her gang of hilariously un-self-aware cohorts is a segmented film. Befriending and making-over a lower-class classmate. Falling for the James-Dean-esque new kid. Playing matchmaker to some lonely teachers. Learning how to drive. Dealing with your mopey, know-it-all college stepbrother. It's a collage of teenage moments; nonetheless, there's a beautiful cohesion throughout. The colorful dialogue of obnoxious colloquialisms and the beyond-perfect casting ground the film at every boa'd, saggy pants'd turn. Sure, Clueless is a "chick flick", but to write it off because of that would be to ignore how smart and subtly subversive the movie is. Based on the Jane Austen book Emma, the story parallels are not only fun and unexpectedly exact, they give the plight of these decidedly unsympathetic characters a rare gravitas. Neither praising adolescents or standing at a distance to laugh at them, it instead simply accepts them, warts and designer clothes and giant cellphones and all. That uncynical love makes this colorful and lively gut-busting comedy every bit as successful as it was in 1995.

Serenityinaz12 Ok so I want to break this review into two parts, the movie itself and Alicia.The movie - I thought this would just be a dumb chick flick and that's why I never saw it with my buds in high school when it came out, even though I was in love with Alicia like everyone else. But it's not that at all, just saw it a few weeks ago and it's just this fun and loveable movie that is light hearted and really funny. There is no big villain to overcome and the lead character is strange in a good way in that she is the ditzy rich popular girl but she is not mean and is actually really caring and helpful towards others. The cast is great and a lot of the lines are really funny. I lol'd HARD more than once. And I think the amorphous thing about the movie that is really key is just that I felt happy and in a great mood while watching and afterward. I've since watched it more than once and each time it just puts me in a great mood!Alicia - Ok, so I was 14 or 15 when she was in The Crush and for high school/junior high kids I think it was fairly well known because MTV made a big deal out of it at the time. Well I watched The Crush and thought she was really cute, then the Aerosmith videos came out and thought she was crazy sexy and cute at the same time. So my experience of Alicia until a few weeks ago watching this was crazy girl in the Crush and sexy silent girl in Aerosmith videos. While watching Clueless I was really shocked at how funny she can be and just how great at acting she is. Like super impressed. It changed my view of her as kind of just this young sex icon to a real deal actress. Now, having said that, I've also got to say that there were times and scenes in Clueless where it's literally just jaw dropping how gorgeous she is. It's almost unbelievable, like she doesn't have this stereotypical killer bod or anything - she's just GORGEOUS. So that didn't hurt, but like I said, even if she wasn't 10/10 face she's just damn fun to watch and great at acting!Overall spectacular movie!

OllieSuave-007 Alicia Silverstone plays a high school student named Cher, who uses her wit, charm and wealth to mold her friends and teachers into finding happiness. Her demeanor seemed superficial and typical, but we later find out that her views on self-dignity and her relationships with family and friends add to a healthy adolescent social life people could relate to.There are some funny moments here, from Cher's valley girl talk and teenage characteristics to her friend Dionne's chaotic car ride on the freeway. Cher displays clueless moments indeed, but are delivered with innocent fun and humor. The plot can be slow at times and some scenes are not suitable for children, but it's really not a bad teenage flick overall.Grade B-
